For a summer wedding in Chalfont St Giles, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is typically served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.

Working with your venue
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Note which guests do not eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
Give us your venue coordinator’s details, so we can sort the cooking spot and timings with them.
For a sit-down meal, ask for china, quoted separately.
